“In this compelling and often beautiful book, Rosalind Brenner demonstrates through her poems and paintings that the ‘all’ of All That’s Left is considerable, while acknowledging the difficulty and fragility of the world she inhabits. The poems and paintings may be ‘finely wrought,’ but they pretty up nothing. What I felt sure of after finishing this book is that one of the things Brenner is left with is talent.”—Stephen Dunn, winner of Pulitzer Prize in poetry for Different Hoursand the Academy Award in Literature from The American Academy of Arts & Letters

"A beautiful paring of images and text in a way that really helps the graphics to step out and grab the reader/viewer immediately and with vivacity. The focus, for our purposes, is on the words and they do well—the poems here deal with issues of memory and retrieval as we see in ‘Roots’: ‘A flutter of roots passes through my mind. / All that's left pays court to memory in me. ‘ These powerful words provide the collection its title and its guiding light. Throughout, we glimpse what happens when memory takes us, and when it leaves."— Judge's Review, 20th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards
